To all whom it may conce-rn.'

Be it known that I, DoUGLAs B. On'iLnB, a citizen oi the United States or America,

and a resident oi' thecity of St. Louis andl State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful improvements in lViiidow-Sash Mountings, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to aniinprovement in window sash frames and-has for its primaryobject the purpose of providing an iin-v out in the appended claims, reference being f had to the accompanying drawings, exempliying the invention, and in which i Figure 1 is an inside elevationof a Vwindow, showing the Viframe and sashes thereof having this improvement applied thereto.

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse section taken approximately on the line IIe-II of Fig. 1.. j

Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical section taken approximatelyV on the line IlI-III o'tFig. 1. l

Figure il: is an enlarged fragmentary perspective View oil a portion of the upper sash, showing a relatabh-x slidable shoe in dismantled position.V i f Figure 5 is an enlarged 'fragmentary perspective View oi a portion of the lower sash,

showing a relatable slidable shoe inV dis;` i

` each shoe being engaged within a respective mantled position. Y

FigureGA is. a` vertical section similar to Fig. 3, showing the window sashes in swung positions 1 v j Figure 7 is an enlarged side elevation ot one of a pair of slidable shoes which are used in connection witheacli window sash.

. Figure 8 is an enlarged end elevation of Fig. 7.

.Figure 9 is an enlarged plan view'oi' one of a pair of sash securing blocks which are used in connection with eacli'window sash.V

Figure 10 is an enlarged side elevation of F i0'. 9.

lVitli reference to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a window frame which is provided with .the usual side members 2 each being' provided with an interinediately arranged vertically .extending guiding strip 3, and secured adjacent one edge of each side member 2 is an outerguiding strip 4, whereas an inner guiding strip is provided adjacent the opposite edge of each of the members 2, the space provided between the strips 3 and e forming a guideway 6 for the upper window sash '7, whereas the space profvided between. the strips 3 and 5 provides al guideway 8 for alower window sash 9.

The window traine 1 is provided with the usual `sash weight pockets 10, each pocket;

being for the reception `of a pair o't sash weights 11 and 12, the sash` weights 11 being' related' tothe upperwindow sash 7, whereas the' sash weights 12 are related to the lower window sash 9. Y

`From anii'ispection of Fg..2, it is to be noted that the lower windowsash 9 is wider than the upper window sash 7. This is for the p urpose of providing `the inwardly swinging of said sashes as well as for making provision for the weather stripping of the sashes.` In this. connection the opposing guiding strips 3 are each providedV with a V-sliaped groove 13, and secured to each oit tlieopposing vertical edges of the lower winvdow sashl 9 is a metallic triangular strip 14.

said strips being for engagement with the re-l spective grooves 13.y n v A Vsshaped groove 15 is- `vi-irtieally exftended within each ol the guiding strips et, and 'for -co-operation with each groove 15 ,is a metallic strip 13,;said strips being borne by the upper window sash 7. Slidably mounted within each guideway (i is a shoe17 each being provided with an inwardly projecting pin 18, each pin 18 of the shoes 17 of the upper sash 7 and the slices 17"L of the lower sash 9 being moved upwardly and downwardly in the respective guide-ways 6 and 8 when said upper andv lower sashes are reciprocated.

rlihe slices 17 and 17 are each .providedVV with a pair of retaining lugs 2O and located in each shoe beneath respective .pairs of lugs` is a bloclr'21 bearing a pin 22, each vpin of each bloekbeing forthe securing of one endv of a chain or sash weight. cable. Each cable 23 is secured to a pin 22 of a respective up-.V

per sash shoe 17, eacheable 23 being mounted over a pulley 23a'and secured -at its iopposite end to a respective upper sash weight 11, whereas a cable 24 is secured to each pin 22 of `respective shoes 17 of the lower sash 9 and wound'over pulleys such as V25, said cables being secured at their opposite endsto respective sash 'weights 12.

Borne by each of the upper and lower sashes is a retaining bolt 26, said bolts of each sash being` preferably secured adjacentV the upper Vend thereof and :arranged horn Zontally thereto 'so that the bolts 26 fof the upper sash can be engaged within respective guideways 6 and in which their fe'Xtended ends will respectively bear `against an ad-' jacent disposed guiding -strip 3. The Ire- Ytaining bolts 26 of the :lower sash 9 are adapted vto have `their "extending ends engaged within respective guideways 8 and in which the 4extending ends of said bolts will bear against respective guiding strips 5.

7 is then lowered a short distance so that.

the upper edge thereof will become disengaged from within the lintel 27, fthen the retaining bolts 26 arewithdrawn from the engagement of the. respective kguideways 6 and the upper end of said sash is then swungV inwardly. This positioning of vthe Vsashes,` permits one to clean the outer surfaces of the window panes within the vroom.

lfdesired the -upper sash can be lowered to a desired position, yas shown at A in Fior.

6, whereas the lower sash can be moved 5toany desired position, as shown at B and C in F ig. 6.

After the window panes have Vbeen cleaned, the sashes are Lsnuin'g to `vertical positions on rtheir respective shoe pins 18 andv 18a and the Vretaining bolts are engaged within their respective guideways, then the sas'lies after being mounted in vertical positions can be moved to closed positions.

lf it is desired to provide deflected ventilation to a room, the lower-'sash 9 can be swung to the position indicated at E in Fig. 6, said sash being held -in position by a chain or cable such as 28 which is secured at one end to the-lower sash and at the opposite end to the upper sash.

Each of the shoes 17 and 17 is provided with lower arranged ledges 29. These ledges are for the purpose of supporting the sashes in their horizontal extended positions in which the lower portionsof the sashes will engage on said ledges.

If a sash rope is to be used instead of a sash chain, the rope is inserted in the -tapered opening 30, oneof which is formed ineach of the blocks and the rope is pulled and held within the tapered opening by wedging element.

That I claim is 1.v A 4window vprovided with guide-ways,

aisash-slidably located with frespeot tofsaid .guide-ways, a-shoe co-operablewith each of said-'guide-ways and -said sash whereby-saidsash ican. be swung lfrom lsaid .guide-ways, means borne by said sash co-operable `with one'of-saidguide-ways for preventing said sash being swung, and means formed on one of said. shoes for holding saidk sash in its swung position.

2. The combination of a window frame,

sashguide-fways formed in said frame, aV

sash, a pair of slidable shoes borne by said sash each 'being mounted within respectiveV guide-ways, said `sash, being swing- `ingly connected to saidfshoes, each of said shoes bearing a -ledge for `the support of said sash when said sash is swung tozan approximate horizontal position, `and a -retaining member co-operable with each of said.guideways for preventing said sash kbeing swung therefrom.

l3. The combination of a window frame, sash guide-ways formed in said frame, a sash, a slidable Fshoe borneA by'said sash mounted in one of said guide-ways, said shoe having an extending ledge for limiting lthe swinging .movement of said sash, and a retaining member co-operable-with one of said guide-ways for preventing said sash being swung therefrom.

4l. A window provided with 4guide-ways,
